That being said, I have them and love them. Will be ordering another pair as soon as the tax refund hits (hopefully this week, RFD!) The dexterity is amazing. Cuff length is probably dependent on style of coat/wristlets you have. Someone more educated than I can hopefully explain/elaborate.

i read the posts a while ago and ordered 15 pairs of them. haven't had a chance to use them on a fire yet but they have a real nice fit and seem pretty durable.

as for the cuffs, the way i understand it is the short cuffs are for coats with the little thumblets in them, long cuffs are for coats with no thumblet. i like the long cuffs because they have a strap on them so you can get it nice and tight.

Yes, most people that order the long cuff either have no extended hand protection on their gear (i.e. nomex or PBI hand guard w/ thumb hole). Most FF's that order the short cuff have a hand and wrist guard on their gear.

I have been using my PT8's for several months and so far I have no complaints, they are very lightweight and dexterous and so far I have not had any durability issues. Time is going to tell how well this glove will hold up.

Bought 5 pairs for my crew for Xmas. They all love them as do I. A few pair have seen a couple of jobs with positive reports. We now have many other guys on our job ordering them. (from Illnois Firestore, I might add).
